The Secret Bride * (1934, Barbara Stanwyck, Warren William, Glenda Farrell) – Classic Movie Review 6774
Director William Dieterle’s 1935 Warner Bros drama is interesting and short (at 64 minutes) but wordy, plodding and slow, and very disappointing considering the talent involved. The talky screenplay by Tom Buckingham, F Hugh Herbert and […]
